TOPIC
Key security issues in relation to Smart Home Network
Introduction of topi
Internet of things is a kind of network of physical objects that uses different kinds of
technologies in order to remain connected to each other and exchange data with other devices
and other systems present over internet. In past few years usage of IoT enabled devices in
Australia has increased drastically. Smart homes in one of the examples of IoT technology. But
increasing usage of IoT technologies have increase risk related to hacking of personal
information or controlling those devices due to their easy availability risk and vulnerabilities
have been increased [1]. Due to this advancement in technology and easy accessibility of Smart
home network security risk associated with this IoT technology has increased. This assessment
will focus upon analysis of security issues in relation to Smart Home network that can put its
users and their information at risk. This assessment will further focus upon ways in which Smart
home technology users can safeguard themselves from such vulnerabilities.
Feedback of Part 1 A
Feedback received from part 1 A helped in understanding that there is a need to identify
appropriate and most important and common security issues that are likely to occur and smart
home network are vulnerable for the same. Feedback received also helped in identifying that in
part 1 A ways in which identified issues can be resolved were not explained in a proper and
appropriate manner [4]. This feedback will be addressed in this part as in these two most
important security issues to which smart home networks are vulnerable to will be identified and
ways in which its users can safeguard themselves from the same.
Analysis of the issues
There are various kinds of security issues that are associated with smart home networks
that can put its users at risk. It is important for smart home users to be aware about these issues
so that they can understand ways in which they can focus upon safeguarding themselves from
such issues. It is important to focus upon enhancing security of smart home network as it can be
considered as a tressure in which personal details of its users, credit card details and many more
are stored. Two most common type of security issues to which smart home networks are
vulnerable to are:
